Our poor pitchers

“Opening Day outfield would consist of Chase Headley in left field, Will Venable in center field and Kyle Blanks in right field.”

This does not sound like a particularly strong defensive line up, and we have a very large outfield in San Diego.

I still want Headley to go to third

what happened to getting Cameron?

Cameron is a really good CF

and a number of contending teams could use a really good CF. Do you really think the Padres will outbid all of them?

Venable is solid

I’m fine with him in center
